I sketched this piece a couple of weeks ago, and since then two more women have been murdered, Natalie McNally and Bruna Fonseca.

This time last year the country came to a standstill, shell shocked with grief after the murder of Ashling Murphy. What seemed to strike a chord was the randomness of it. “She was just going for a run”. It could have been any of us. It could be any of us. Just weeks after Sarah Everard’s murder in UK, who was just walking home after a night out, we were shown we’re not even safe in daylight.

I recently completed this project turning the back of @st66dublin into a giant progress pride flag & tribute to Keith Haring. It was a bit of a challenging canvas, but I'm really happy with the finished piece, looking forward to having drinks here when they finally get to open. Image The progress pride flag was designed by @danielquasar. It's a redesign of the rainbow LGBTQ pride flag. It includes black & brown stripes to represent marginalised LGBTQ communities of colour, along with the colours pink, light blue & white, which are the transgender pride flag.

Yesterday's 'Save Our Children' rally. Here's some information on the organisers / speakers.

It was organised by Hermann Kelly, who was editor of The Irish Catholic 'newspaper' during the thick of the abuse scandals and reports. He regularly covered up & denied clerical abuse, even writing a book 'exposing a culture of false accusations'. He's a fan of the 'false memory' theory of 'holocaust deniers' in the debate on clerical child abuse & claims the redress board is nothing but "a State ATM for scroungers". He's head of fascist Irish Freedom Party.
